How are Canadian dramas and sitcoms? Never seen one but any cool ones from there!

I know when I visit relatives they have some MTV-like show on their cable but it's Canadian and the show always has basketball player Vince Carter on there.

I have seen a few Canadian sitcoms here and there, not really dramas. The problem is that the public is so influenced by American TV shows and movies that a lot of local Canadian entertainment content is relatively unknown. But I think Canadian comedy is pretty good. Sorry, I don't have MTV on my Television though, cannot say.


TV rules aren't really strict or anything, I doubt there is much censoring of American TV programs here in Canada. Forgive me, as you can tell, I'm not that knowlegeable about entertainment here in North America. I should be, but ever since I went to Japan in 2002, I've been mostly interested in Japanese and Asian entertainment over local stuff.

I was wondering if TV rules are strict in Indonesia, Singapore or Malaysia? I wonder if in other countries, American television is edited because of the content. (example: women kissing each other, violence, sexual content or certain profanity).
kndy

yes, it's strict...esp for sexual content...
and even they cut kissing each other (man and woman) parts...
but for the violence and stuff like that...not so strict as for sexual content...

The original Law & Order is the best of the bunch.. SVU and CI are only okay... I tried watching NYPD Blue, but Dennis Franz's character is such a jerk most of the time that it's hard to watch... And I don't want to see his bare ass ever again... Bleah. hehe

really? I think svu is the best of the bunch. actually they are all better than most things on tv. You actually learn a lot about police forensic that way.

You got that right. I like the original L&O because it focuses totally on the investigation and the courtroom procedures, no junk about personal lives and stuff. All meat and no fluff. Big Grin

Do you watch CSI then? I tried watching it, but it doesn't keep my attention, so I give up...

Oh, I usually watch Crossing Jordan, but only because of Jill Hennessey... hehe

American TV is filled with crap: worthless teen dramas and even more worthless reality shows.

There are some watchable ones:
The Sopranos
The Simpsons (Earlier seasons)
Family Guy (no longer running, but is soooo hilarious and ingenious)
Sex and the City
Alias

Yes yes.

To reiterate, I'd throw in The West Wing, Law & Order, and anything on PBS. Smile

Is "West Wing" a good show since the Rob Lowe and the creator left? It's been a long time since I caught that show..."ER", "The Practice" and several others.

I heard there's a new one out there called "Cold Case" & "Joan of Arcadia" that is pretty good. Haven't seen them yet though.

Whoa, and I thought I was alone in this. I kind of feel the same way about dramas and TV shows in my country, though, I can think of a couple of decent ones here and there. But otherwise, most of the dramas on local TV are not that interesting, in my opinion. You just put my thoughts in a little more harsher tone.


Then again, we all know that Japanese dramas are superior. Big Grin


Almost anything is better than that reality TV crap that really isn't good at all......
